5-33. A dc standard (-hp- 7a0B) is required for this procedure, which checks the dc voltage accuracyof the Sample/Hold circuits to the 90-day specificationin both Track/Hold and Acquire/Hold operation. Accuracy is not specifiedfor the .l V range.

Connect Guard to Input Low or damageto the instrument mav result.

a.Set 3490A FUNCTION to DC, RANGE to I V, SAMPLE/HOLD to TRACK/HOLD, SAMPLE RAT.A, fully clockwise.

b.Connect dc standardbetweeninput High and Low terminals.

c.Select3490A rangesand dc standardpositiveand negativeoutputs listed in Table 5-6. Display should be within limits shownin eachcase.

5-35. A function generator (-hp- 3310A), an oscillo- scopewith delayedsweepand delayedgateoutput (-hp l80C/l80lAll82lA), a silicon diode, and a l0kh resistorare requiredfor this test, which verifiesthat the Sample/Holdcircuitswill respondto a stepinput voltage within the stated acquisition time. The Delayed Gate

Output from the oscilloscopemust be a negative-going pulse at least 30 nanosecondswide and havins an amphtudeof I to 100 V.

e.Adjust oscilloscopedelay control so that intensi- fied trace begins approximately 450 ps after negative- going transition of squarewave.Note 34904 reading, which shouldbe nearzero.

f.Adjust delay so that intensified trace begins approximately125ps after negative-goingedgeof square wave (stated maximum acquisitiontime for l0 V range is 128ps). Readingshould be within 1 0.001 V of the readingnoted in stepe.
